Despite the fact that Eric Fisher went No. 1 overall to the Kansas City Chiefs, No. 2 pick Luke Joeckel got the sweeter deal—at least in the overall financial picture. As Schefter points out in his tweet, the fact that there is no state income tax in Florida will help make Joeckel's deal more lucrative.

This more detailed tweet from Schefter further illustrates the monetary excellence of Joeckel's deal.

OT Luke Joeckel's fully-guaranteed 4-year Jaguars deal also includes a $13,799,344 signing bonus and no offsets.

No wonder the big man from Texas A&M is all smiles as he meets the press.

Per Joel Corry of the National Football Post, Fisher's deal will be worth $22,190,498 before state taxes in Missouri.

The comparisons between the two top-level talents will continue for as long as both are in the NFL. When two players who play the same position are drafted so closely together, everything associated with them will be measured together—not least of all, salary.

Coming into the draft, many prognosticators had Joeckel rated ahead of the Central Michigan product. After the Senior Bowl and through pre-draft workouts, Fisher began to gain momentum.

Ultimately, his work ethic, athleticism and killer instinct endeared him to Andy Reid and the rest of the Chiefs brass.

Just when it seemed the kid from the small program had gotten the best of the stud from the SEC power, he's had some of his thunder stolen.

That said, he'll likely be happy if he and the Chiefs can grab a few more wins than Joeckel and the Jags.
